World Scientist: Vera Rubin

By Manish Verma

SHE PROVED THAT MOST OF THE UNIVERSE IS INVISIBLE
Vera Rubin carefully studied how galaxies rotate and discovered something surprising-they were spinning too fast. Her research showed that an unseen force, now called dark matter, must be holding them together. Even when her ideas were questioned, she continued her work with patience and courage, changing astronomy forever.
